The Arc Central Chesapeake Region (The Arc) is honored to be named to the prestigious Executive Alliance Honor Roll, recognizing its strong commitment to gender diversity in leadership. This distinction highlights The Arc’s dedication to fostering an inclusive, equitable workplace where women hold key leadership roles.
The Executive Alliance Honor Roll recognizes Maryland-based publicly traded companies, private businesses, and nonprofit organizations that demonstrate exemplary gender diversity by ensuring that at least 30% of their executive leadership roles and board of directors are held by women. The Arc proudly joins a distinguished group of organizations actively advancing women in leadership.
“We are honored to be receiving this recognition from Executive Alliance for our ongoing commitment to gender diversity and inclusion,” said Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of The Arc. “At The Arc, we believe diverse leadership fosters innovation, drives better decision-making, and strengthens our ability to serve our community. This honor reflects our on-going efforts to build an organization where everyone has the opportunity to lead and contribute.”
Since 2007, Executive Alliance has been a driving force in promoting gender diversity through its annual Census Report: Women Board Directors in Maryland. The Honor Roll expands on that work, celebrating organizations that lead by example. Executive Alliance is dedicated to accelerating the success and leadership of accomplished women by expanding their impact and influence through advocacy, education, and mentorship.
The Honor Roll recipients will be recognized at a special celebration on March 19, 2025, from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM at The Maritime Center, 692 Maritime Boulevard, Linthicum, MD 21090.
